Frequently Asked Question - Why is the Quality Mark proposed to be held by the SQP rather than the Company?

Why is the Quality Mark proposed to be held by the SQP rather than the Company?

As the scheme relies upon the integrity of an individual to operate (and the sanctions associated with their professional institutions) it makes sense for them to hold the authority to apply the Quality Mark. This also avoids the potential difficulties and costs which might be involved in auditing companies.
